Independent Work Funding Opportunities

The Department of Economics offers thesis funding on a rolling basis provided that the request is submitted in sufficient time. Applicants are advised to refer to the senior thesis calendar as funding will not be approved if applications are received less than six weeks before the senior thesis due date.

As of January 2013, all applications for funding in support of undergraduate activities including summer study abroad, internships (not counting paid employment), senior thesis research and junior independent work or special projects (including individual student travel to conferences) will go through the Student Activities Funding Engine, or SAFE. Please do not apply directly to the Department of Economics for funds in support of these activities, but submit an application through SAFE.
